Your savior is here

Gu Luoxi knew it. This man had definitely stayed for her.

Men always said one thing and meant another.

They might not admit it, but that was what they were thinking.

She was so outstanding, and a top-tier celebrity, too. What man wouldn't like her?

Maybe this man had followed her all the way here.

At that thought, Gu Luoxi grew even more smug.

"I'll help you pitch your tent," Gu Luoxi offered.

"Suit yourself," Ye Nanshen said.

This woman was getting annoyingly chatty. If she could go away now, all the better.

"Then I'll put it next to mine. It'll be more convenient," Gu Luoxi said happily.

Gu Luosheng looked up and saw the tall, handsome man and the woman blushing shyly.

Well, they actually looked somewhat good together.

Gu Luosheng didn't want to watch anymore and walked away.

Her tent was already up, so she sat by the sea to rest.

Honestly... Gu Luosheng didn't know why she felt this strange sense of loss, either...

No.

She was here to make money.

Why bother with all that nonsense?

"I need to think of a way to make money." Gu Luosheng suddenly sprang up from the ground and blurted it out.

"Do you need money?" Just then, a middle-aged man with slicked-back hair called out to her.

Gu Luosheng jumped.

"Who... are you?"

The man gave her a sleazy smile. "Your savior is here. You won't have to work hard anymore. I can help you."

Gu Luosheng shuddered in disgust. "I'm divorced with three kids, and I just tested positive for an STD. Are you sure?"

The man immediately backed up two steps. "Are you sick in the head? You're in that state and still out here seducing people?"

Gu Luosheng planted her hands on her hips and smiled. "Hey, handsome~ I've realized I really like your type. You look so understanding. I'm sure you'll take good care of me and my kids, won't you?"

"Stay away!" The man panicked, fell to the ground with a thump, then scrambled away on all fours.

Gu Luosheng clicked her tongue. "Trying to take advantage of me? Take a good look at yourself first. With a face like that, one glance would give me nightmares."

After saying that, Gu Luosheng turned around and slammed straight into a man's chest.

It was rather firm, and she could feel its warmth through the fabric.

"My nose." Gu Luosheng pouted and rubbed her nose, tears gathering in her eyes.

She was about to curse, but when she looked up and met the handsome face of the main villain, the words died in her throat.

She swore it absolutely wasn't because the main villain was too handsome.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you keeping Gu Luoxi company?" Gu Luosheng tilted her head, pretending to sound casual.

"Why would I keep her company?" he asked.

[Why else? She's the female lead! Every man in the world revolves around her!]

[I'm different. I'm the one who'll end up abandoned.]

Ye Nanshen froze.

"I don't know her." Ye Nanshen didn't know why he felt the need to explain.

"You don't know her, but you could still fall in love at first sight..." Gu Luosheng spread her hands.

Ye Nanshen: ?

"Her?" Ye Nanshen scoffed. "My taste isn't that bad."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Gu Luosheng blinked, wondering if she'd misheard him.

"Flat nose, tiny eyes, an oversized forehead. She relies entirely on makeup and plastic surgery to make up for it. Why would I like someone who looks like that?" Ye Nanshen's tone was mild, but every word was vicious.

"You... can tell all that?" Gu Luosheng was rather shocked.

That was indeed what Gu Luoxi had originally looked like, but she'd since undergone all kinds of plastic surgery to correct those flaws.

Most clueless straight men wouldn't notice, would they?

Shen Zhe certainly hadn't.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm not blind." Ye Nanshen's voice was as cold as ever.

But right now, it sounded exceptionally pleasing to Gu Luosheng.

"Then you're pretty good at judging people." Gu Luosheng's lips curved slightly. "What do you think of me?"

Ye Nanshen looked her over and drawled, "Not ugly."

Gu Luosheng: ...

She shouldn't have gotten her hopes up. Nothing nice ever came out of this man's mouth.

He really was an aloof main villain.

"Neither are you," Gu Luosheng shot back.

"I know," Ye Nanshen replied calmly. "The people pursuing me form a line from here to France."

Gu Luosheng: Sometimes, a person really had no idea what to say.

"Then why did you let Gu Luoxi pitch your tent if you don't like her?" Gu Luosheng was puzzled, suspecting the main villain was stringing her along.

Yet Ye Nanshen remained perfectly composed. "She's too noisy. At least it'll be quiet while she's working."

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. No wonder he was the main villain. Even his solutions were on another level.

"And you-what did you mean by blocking me?" The man moved closer.

"Huh? That happened? I had no idea. Maybe Duoduo did it." Gu Luosheng stumbled over her words and pinned the blame straight on Duoduo.

"Duoduo?" The man narrowed his eyes, looking even more dangerous.

"My dog. He's really clever. He can use a phone all by himself."

Gu Luosheng lowered her gaze demurely, sounding utterly serious.

Ye Nanshen smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. "Gu Luosheng, do you think I'm an idiot? Whose dog knows how to use a phone?"

Gu Luosheng looked up, then dropped to her knees and clung to his leg. "I'm sorry! I was wrong! I'll never do it again! I'll unblock you right now!"

Who knew... a main villain would care so much about her?

She'd assumed that after going home last time, their paths would never cross again.

Ye Nanshen lowered his gaze to that pitiful little face.

He knew Gu Luosheng was putting on an act.

This little troublemaker's acting skills were first-rate.

He bent slightly and tipped up Gu Luosheng's chin. "I have a bad temper. If there's a next time, I won't mind tossing you into the sea to feed the fish."

Gu Luosheng felt so wronged that she nearly cried.

Why did every last one of them want her dead?

"I understand," Gu Luosheng answered sullenly.

Hearing Xia Zhiyun call her, Gu Luosheng stood up and brushed the sand off her knees. "Mom's looking for me. I'll head back first."

Ye Nanshen watched the girl's retreating figure.

Suddenly, something felt strange in his heart...

And he'd just heard her thoughts say that everyone in the world liked the female lead. Did she mean Gu Luoxi?

Everyone would abandon her...

Ye Nanshen took a deep breath and pressed between his brows, easing his irritation.

"Where did you go to have fun just now, sis? You weren't off looking for men again, were you?" Gu Luoxi asked with feigned nonchalance as she tended the barbecue.

Gu Luosheng couldn't be bothered to play along. "That's right. I just met a really handsome guy, and he happened to like me, too, so we chatted a little longer."

"Huh? But you already have a boyfriend, sis. You can't two-time him. Mom, don't you think... that's wrong?" Gu Luoxi looked horrified.

Gu Luosheng rolled her eyes.

[What a fake.]

[You've slept with men more times than I've changed clothes.]

[When it comes to manipulative little phonies, nobody could ever beat you.]
